Wrecked at Sea.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-The steamer
City of Alexandria, which arrived here
this morning from Mexican ports via
Havana, brought the captain and seven
teen sailors of the abandoned ship Lima.
The Lima was German vessel and left
Pensacola with a cargo of lumber three
weeks ago, bound for Dortrecht. In the
terrific hurricane of the 25th of August,
which wrought so much destruction, she
labored badly and sprung leak. Sew
eral times during the next few days the
crew thought they would be obliged to
take to the life boats, but on the 27th
the American brig Mercury, from Cuba
to Boston, rescued them. The Mercury
hailed the City of Alexandria later in
the day and transferred the Lina's crew
to the steamer. The Lima was not in
sured, but the cargo was fully covered.

the new third baseman, they were de-
feated by the Detroits. Rainey, it can
be said, lost the game. The four errors
he made were the only ones made byth
team. Keefe seemed to be little off,
and was hit freely. The feature of the
game was the playing of Richardson
and Ward, of the New Yorks. Twice
they doubled on the Detroits, but
Rainey's miserable plays spoiled the en-
tire game. Getzein pitched great
game, although wild at first, and hewas
ably supported by Bennett. In the sew
enth Brouthers and Rowe got on bases
by the errors of Rainey. Thompson
went to the bat and drove the ball far
out to center, bringing home Brouthers,
Rowe and himself. Attendance, S,760.

THE SENATOR'S BEATEN
In an Interesting Game With the
PittSburg Nine,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The Pitts
burg team defeated Washington to-day
in an interesting game. In the first
inning through Gilmore's wild pitching
and few timely hits the visitors scored
runs which virtually settled the con-
test. Donnelly played great game at
third. Farrell made some brilliant
stops, but he also made the only errors
of the home team. At critical points
Calvin proved himself too much for the
home team, who sacrificed several runs
through their inability to hit safely.
Coleman was struck by pitched ball
in the fifth inning and was so seriously
injured that he retired from the game
in favor of Fields. Score:

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. IA special from
Prince, Mo-, says: At Mercer county
fair yesterday afternoon Randall
Blakeslee, half-breed Indian, made a
balloon ascension, hanging to a trapeze.
In the ascent the balloon shot up sud-
denly, giving Blakesleea severe wrench
and he was unable to pull himself on
the bar, but managed to hold himself
up by loop which he had drawn
around his wrist. After travelling about
mile and half, reaching the altitude
of 2,00O feet, the balloon began to de-
scend, but the poor fellows strength
the earth his grip relaxed and he fell to
the earth, lighting on his feet in corn
field, his thighs being broken and driven
into the trunk of his body.

head, also Adele Tassetts work, is
fine example in the classical style, and
is good both in coloring and arrange
ment. Among the maritime paintings,
No. IA, ga Fresh Breeze" M, f. II, de
Haas, is about the best. The
water is treated in a mar
Vicious manner, the waves seem
to topple over one another as the breeze
gains in force, and the schooner in the
foreground bends to the gale and dances
DER the waves; and there, as natural as
can be, is seen the green color in the
under current Of ire water, and it
ner with sle blue and white tints on the
surface. This picture merits all praise.
An odd effort is No. 3, Violet.
1t represents a girls face more
clever looking than pretty; across her
forehead and in her hair twined sweet
violets and for back ground the color
ing work is odd in the extreme. This
picture is sure to attract attention from
artistic people. 1t was done by j. Car
roll Beckworth, rising young Amer
lean artist of great promise who has had
considerable European experience.
Ihere are 346 pictures in the
main collection. Besides this
tnere is an Italian collection
lLdt 10 very DeduLlIul ana extensive.
The water-color department and an ex-
tremely fine exhibit from the Industrial
art for women from New York city.
Notices of these departments will be all
given in due time.
The Scandinavian collection has ar
rived, and was hung last night, but not
quite finished. This is sure to attract
wide attention.
F. L. BARROW & co.
With their usual amount of push and
enterprise as exhibiting fair sample of
their immense stock of carriages and
harness, fur robes and all kinds of horse
Sundries, their display this season will
be found near the southeast corner On
the second floor, and attracts universal
attention. Around their entire exhibit
is pretty little driveway, or
race track, where smart team of
ponies will trot against time
at regular intervals, and those
who have not seen one of these races lit
tie realize how great portion of the
entire Exposition they have missed. To
give fair showing of their entire stock
would require quarter section of the
entire floor, but anything on earth that
belongs to their line of business can be
found at their large stores, 623 and 625
Nlcollet avenue. Visitors in their trip
around town will not fail to visit this
one of the most important and best
houses in the city.

PROPERTY OWNERS MEET
But Fail to Come to a Definite
Understanding.

About seventy-five property owners
from the Fifth, Sixth and Eleventh
wards, composing what is known as the
Franklin Avenue Improvement associa-
ton, met last night at Tolefson's hall to
discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of further pro-
ceeding i'll the matter of widening Frank
lin avenue. Conspicuous among those
present were Aid. Muldoon, johnson
and Swenson, from the Eleventh, and
Stoft from the Sixth ward. 1t seems
That about two months ago Alderman
Muldoon, at the earnest solicitation of
the residents interested, secured the
passage of resolution in the city
council to widen Franklin avenue from
Cedar avenue to Twelfth avenue south
to uniform width of eighty feet from
building to building, with the one
notable exception of the Jones block, and
commission was appointed for
the purpose of appraisiHg the property
affected. This commission, after, in a
measure, having completed its labors,
finds an error in the original survey,
and that the Jones block will be left
five feet in the street instead of two feet,
as was supposed. This has resulted in
developing a decided opposition from
some of the property owners, and
ton was manifested by motion from
r. B. Thompson ''to request the council
to widen Franklin avenue, from Cedar
avenue to Lake of the Isles, to uniform
width of eighty feet, cutting off all the
buildings to the street line" This mo-
ton finally prevailed, only to be fol-
lowed, after much discussion, by
another to reconsider, which was
also carried. but, in the absence of any
definite attempt to do any reconsider
ing, an adjournment was taken. Dur
ing the evening an election of officers
for the next six months was perfected,
which resulted in reinstating the old
ones, which are as follows: ID. NJ. I'm
derwood, president; r. B. Thompson,
vice president; Aid. Muldoon, secretary.

A PRETTY GAME
Played by the Teams of Mime
apOiis and Eau Claire.


Minneapolis and Eau Claire yesterday
played one of the prettiest games of the
season. For close play and skillful
handling of the ball it has not been ex-
ceeded in the home grounds. Crothers
was on his mettle and held the sluggers
down well, in which he was well sup
ported. Klopf pitched his usual steady
game and it was impossible to bunch
hits against him, while the support given
was splendid. One error each, was
recorded and it is doubtful whether
Patton error should have been charged.
Eau Claire hit the ball more frequently,
but Minneapolis hit it harder and
punched its hits and won the game
handily. Kreig got in his usual home
run drive and Willis had a narrow escape
from one. Foster hit the ball hard but
hit into fielder's hands. Lowe and Reilly
led the Eau Claire work with the stick.
Following is the official score:

mile in 1:09sl, three-quarters in 1:49,

was cool and strong northwester blew
down the back stretch directly in the
face of the horse, and it is thought 2:15
would have been made with favorable
circumstances. The time is the same
made by Dexter some years ago. 1t has

cisions on bases. Conway pitched a
pretty game, holding the Hoosiers down
to four actual hits. Shreve was
pounded with freedom and seemed
hardly up to the caliber of league
twirler. The indianapolis in-field had
the unusual number of nineteen. Sam
